A MAN TO HONOR

chapter thirty six

Kailah

It's been hours now since I've been waiting for Taehyung to call me, he has probably landed already

It's crazy how I feel empty as soon as he left

Even being with my family doesn't seem fun and enjoyable anymore

I can't even put my phone down, I only keep checking and checking

Maybe I should call him instead

Ahhh, I hate that

I hate how dependent I am

I put my phone on the small table in the room, he gonna call me anyway

No need to stress like that

My phone suddenly rings and I almost jump to grab it

But instead of Taehyung

It's my friend, Bellatia

" Hey! Bella "

" I've been trying to join you for decades now " she immediately retorts

" I'm here now, what's going on? "

" Is Taehyung with you? You told me he was going to the trip as well "

" Well...he was, but he left this morning cause of an emergency "

" Emergency..." Repeats Bella

I arch an eyebrow when I hear her tone

" Bella?? What's going on? What are you asking me about Taehyung? " I say as I sit on the bed

" I'll send something to you, check it now "

I don't know why my heart skips a strong beat

What the hell is going on?

Bellatia is honestly the last person on earth to have time to mind other's business

If she is calling me for something, it's probably more than serious

I wait for her to send me the supposed " something"

A PDF file pops in my emails, my fingers begin to tremble as I click on it

It's and article that just came out, and what I read...just got me speechless

Headline: "From Best Friends to Forever: Taehyung and Dae-Kyeong's Love Story Takes a Joyful Turn"

In a heartfelt announcement that has captured the hearts of those who know them, Taehyung and Dae-Kyeong are overjoyed to share that they are engaged to be married. What started as an unbreakable friendship has blossomed into a love story that neither of them could have ever imagined.

Taehyung and Dae-Kyeong have known each other since childhood, their bond forged through years of shared laughter, late-night talks, and unwavering support. As best friends, they were each other's confidants, the ones who understood each other better than anyone else. But somewhere along the way, those feelings of friendship deepened into something far more profound.

For years, they quietly nurtured their growing love, cherishing the connection that had evolved from their friendship. They kept their engagement a beautiful secret, savoring the intimacy of their commitment while privately celebrating their decision to spend the rest of their lives together.

Now, with hearts full of joy, they are ready to share their happiness with the world. "It feels surreal to finally tell everyone," says Dae-Kyeong, her eyes sparkling with emotion. "Taehyung has been my best friend for as long as I can remember, and to now call him my fiancé feels like a dream come true."
